One thing to keep in mind is that we are modeling here, we are using aggregate systems. So keep in mind that a round which penetrates does not stay on course. Part of the armor value then can be understood to come from the deviation applied to the round (it would be silly to tack on a to-hit modifier elsewhere when you can do it elegantly from the armor rating)--yet another reason not to shoot from the window ledge, but from a little ways inside!

But the rules says it does. Twilight 2300 anyway. If you score a hit, and that body part is behind cover, a rifle bullet is going to penetrate to hit with damage. Although the damage will be lessened.
